The cable operator shall build out the cable system over a reasonable period of time, and provided that the City timely issues permits and other owners and users of critical infrastructure (such as utility poles) do not cause delay, not less than fifty percent (50%) build-out in two years and ninety percent (90%) build-out in three years to every residence (provided that there is a request for cable service from the cable operator in such area and excluding any home subscribing to any satellite service) within the service area where there is a minimum density of at least 30 residences per linear strand mile of cable as measured from the cable operator’s closest commercially reasonable tie-in point that is actively delivering cable service as of the date of such request for service. If such residence is located within 125 feet of the cable operator’s feeder cable, the cable service will be provided at the cable operator’s published rate for standard installations. Cable service offered to subscribers pursuant to this article shall be conditioned upon the cable operator having legal access to any such subscriber’s dwelling unit or other units wherein such cable service is provided. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the cable operator’s ability to offer or provide bulk rate discounts or promotions.
